Chery Tiggo 2: compact city crossover
The Chery Tiggo 2 is a compact crossover that in some markets is sold as the Tiggo 3x. In this article, we look at its engines, trims, and what to check when hunting for a used car.
Tiggo 2 in brief
The Tiggo 2 is designed as an affordable city crossover, based on the Chery Fulwin 2 hatchback. Thanks to its higher ground clearance and compact dimensions, it's well-suited to urban environments and less-than-perfect road conditions.
The car is sold in China and export markets, but in Lithuania, it's quite rare in the used market.
Which version to choose
The key decision is the engine and gearbox. The simplest version with the 1.5-litre engine and manual gearbox is cheaper, while the turbo version is more lively.
Since the model is new and rare, pay close attention to the warranty, availability of spare parts, and previous maintenance.
Engines and gearboxes
Initially, a 1.5-litre petrol engine with around 106hp was offered, paired with a five-speed manual or four-speed automatic gearbox. Later, a 1.2-litre turbo engine with around 150hp was introduced.
Turbo versions were paired with a six-speed manual or CVT gearbox. Drive is to the front wheels.
What to check when buying a used Tiggo 2
Check the engine and gearbox operation, especially on CVT versions. Inspect the body for signs of repairs and corrosion.
Find out if spare parts are available and if there's an appropriate service in your area.
Trims
Names and equipment vary by market and year; we describe the most commonly encountered versions.

- 1.5-litre petrol engine, around 106 hp

Trim level comparison
| 1.5 | 1.2 turbo | |
|---|---|---|
| Who it suits | For a budget-friendly city car | For a livelier drive |
| Engine | 1.5 l, around 106 HP | 1.2 l turbo, around 150 HP |
| Body style | Manual or automatic | Manual or CVT |

For most buyers, the 1.5 l version is sufficient. The turbo variant is more appealing but requires more meticulous maintenance.
